HOLIDAY FLYER You Make Us Go 1999

Discogs

Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

Roseville, CA-based indie-pop combo Holiday Flyer paired the Conley siblings, singer/guitarist John and singer/drummer Katie. After a series of singles, the duo issued their debut album Try Not to Worry on Silver Girl in 1995; for the follow-up, 1997's The Rainbow Confection, the line-up expanded to a three-piece with the addition of bassist Verna Brock of Beanpole/Rocketship fame. An EP, Blue Harvest, appeared on Darla a year later; the third Holiday Flyer full-length, You Make Us Go, followed in 1999.

ROCKETSHIP A Certain Smile A Certain Sadness 1996

Discogs

Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

Sacramento, CA-based indie-pop favorite Rocketship was the brainchild of singer/guitarist Dustin Reske, who formed the group in 1993 with bassist Verna Brock, keyboardist Heidi Barney and drummer Jim Rivas. After releasing the classic single "Hey Hey Girl" on the influential Bus Stop label, the group recorded 1996's acclaimed A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness for Slumberland; the original line-up then dissolved, with Reske continuing Rocketship essentially as a solo project. The "Honey, I Need You" single followed in 1997; two years later, Reske resurfaced with the ambient-influenced twelve-inch Rocketship's Garden of Delights.
